At the end of the evening, you’ll leave with a small edition of mini posters you printed yourself. Perfect to keep or share with friends as gifts.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR:
Elisabeth Boerwinkel is a printmaker and illustrator from the Netherlands, currently living and working in Washington, D.C. She was a Keyholder Resident for Fall/Winter 2021 before joining as a Letterpress Associate at Pyramid Atlantic. Pulling her first prints in 2015 she fell in love with copperplate etching straight away. Later she wandered into a letterpress studio in Amsterdam and got obsessed with wood, metal, and heavy machinery. You can find her in the letterpress studio smelling the ink. Her work can be viewed @elisabeth_kunegonde on Instagram.
